All my bags are packedI'm ready to goI'm standing here outside your doorI hate to wake you up to say goodbyeBut the dawn is breakingIt's early mornThe taxis waitingHe's blowing his hornAlready I'm so lonesomeI could die

So kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'cause I'm leaving on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you downSo many times I've played aroundI tell you now, they don't mean a thingEvery place I go, I'll think of youEvery song I sing, I'll sing for youWhen I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'cause I'm leaving on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave youOne more timeLet me kiss youThen close your eyesI'll be on my wayDream about the days to comeWhen I won't have to leave aloneAbout the times, I won't have to say

Oh, kiss me and smile for meTell me that you'll wait for meHold me like you'll never let me go'cause I'm leaving on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go

But, I'm leaving on a jet planeDon't know when I'll be back againOh babe, I hate to go.

In a Far Away Land - Chinese folk song written by Luo Bin Wang(translated by I Lee)

In a far away land
There is a nice, pretty young girl
Whenever people walk by her tent
They always turn their heads
And look longingly at her
At her pink smiling face
Like the bright red sun
At her beautiful bright eyes
Like the beautiful bright moon at night.
I would give up all my worldly possessions
To follow her to shepherd the sheep
To see that pink smiling face every day
And her lovely dress with the golden trim.
I wish I could be just a little lamb
So I could stay close beside her.
I wish she would use her tiny leather strap
To gently and constantly tap me lightly on my body.

You were my first concert when I was ten and now that I'm much older still the best. You got me thru some rough times and made me enjoy happy times that much more. When I go to the mountains, I always think of you. I was brought up with your music, so thank you for the beautiful voice, musicianship, talent and being a beautiful soul. I will always fight for conservation in your name."
